Treetop & Waterfront! Quiet Cove, Hot Tub, Kayaks, Game Room and more
Nestled on the slope of Smith Mountain Lake sits Firefly Cottage~ where the sky is lit up with stars and the fireflies dance over the water.
The cottage’s wraparound porch and windows offer beautiful lake and mountain views from nearly every room. The home has an open concept kitchen that allows you to enjoy the company of friends and family while preparing meals. There are multiple dining options including two dinner tables on the main level, a bistro on the porch, a picnic table on the patio and a bistro in the lower level. The cottage is unlike most others in that it has TWO full size kitchens and two docks on the lake.
Upon entry you will find the living room, two cozy bedrooms, a full bath with a beautiful tile shower, a washer and dryer for your convenience and the kitchen area fully stocked. Off of the back porch you will find stairs that lead you to a private, lower level perfect for family and children entertainment.
The lower level has its own private entrance, please note that it is accessible through the outside patio, so you will have to go outside to enter the game room area. It has a full bathroom with a dreamy freestanding tub, another full sized kitchen to prepare meals or store drinks, a foosball table, an arcade bowling game, a ping pong table, Wii console, XBOX 360 with a variety of games, a smart tv, and board games. For sleeping accommodations, there is a pullout couch that folds into a bed! This is the perfect area for additional family members or older children to hang out, but we do not recommend sleeping accommodations for young children in the lower level as it has its own entrances to the outside.
You will have to walk down some steps to access the docks on the lake. The water in the cove is deep and perfect for swimming, kayaking or docking your boat/jet skis. There is plenty of space as we have two private docks for your use.
The home is professionally cleaned and sanitized prior to your arrival. The sheets and comforters on the beds are washed in between guests, as well as towels and blankets. For your convenience, we provide these essentials for your stay; Bath towels, beach towels, hand soap, dish soap, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, body wash, wood for fire pit and marshmallow roasting sticks. You will also find some basics in the home such as spices and oils. While we try to keep coffee stocked as well, we can’t guarantee and recommend picking some up before your trip :) We have a regular drip coffee pot.
There is plenty of space for families to spread out in this cottage!
Firefly Cottage is only a 10 minute drive from Food Lion and 15 minutes from Bridgewater Plaza, a hotspot for tourists to enjoy fine dining, arcade, live music, putt putt and other entertainment. Enjoy a boat or kayak ride to Jake’s Place restaurant on the water, or Bridgewater Plaza in just minutes as we are right down the cove from these amenities!

This little cottage is the cutest! My husband, sister, brother in law, their baby boy, and my self had the most wonderful week. The walk to the dock was easy and convenient. Our dogs loved it, as well! Taylor is super easy to get in touch with and very responsive to messages. By far the cleanest house we’ve stayed in. We will be booking again next year!
Great getaway! Beautiful scenic views and surroundings! Very clean and very accurate to the pictures! Wonderful communication with the host! Very much enjoyed our stay and hope to come back!
About a month after our first stay here, we returned for more relaxation and fishing. Once again, this house delivered on all expectations.We can't recommend this property enough, and will always look as our first choice when visiting Smith Mt. Lake.
We enjoyed our stay at Firefly Cottage! It’s in a convenient location, and we liked the quiet cove and kayaks provided. Taylor was a very responsive host.
The cabin was very nice and clean. The property owner was also really nice and accommodating. The view of the lake was great and the fish was biting! Great trip!
Had a great stay with my kids. The house was clean and offered lots to do. There are great lake views and you're steps away from fishing, kayaking, or just relaxing on one of two docks. Overall, it was a great time and would stay again!
This was a perfect place to have a quick girl's trip. We had an amazing & relaxing time, enjoying the nature & views. We all needed a break & the cottage provided the perfect atmosphere. We will definitely be returning!
This was exactly the getaway I was hoping it would be. The house was lovely and was well stocked with all the items you would need; making it an easy, enjoyable getaway!
Upon arrival we noticed everything was very clean. The view is great. We enjoyed sitting on the porch, the docks, and enjoying time in the hot tub. Each room having a smart TV for the kids was a bonus. They enjoyed time in the game room playing ping pong. Sitting by the campfire and making s’mores was a great way to end our days. We can’t wait to plan a trip back.
Everything about Firefly Cottage was perfect. The listing is exactly as described and more. Plenty of amenities, enough comfortable space for all of us, and the location was so peaceful and quiet. Taylor answered all of my questions quickly and was the most helpful host I’ve ever dealt with. We enjoyed every moment spent at the lake and look forward to coming back again next year. 10/10
Firefly Cottage was everything we could have asked for to make our long weekend enjoyable! The house was very clean, fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, and the view was amazing!
Taylor was so easy to communication with and that made our experience even better!
We had a wonderful time. Cabin was very clean. It was so quiet and peaceful. Loved it! Host was very responsive. Would definitely recommend to friends.
Communications were fantastic. The cottage was so clean and peaceful. It's everything that you would need and more. I'm already planning on booking again next summer for a longer stay.
What a find! The house was well-stocked with necessities such as beach and bath towels, and the kitchen was incredible. We especially enjoyed kayaking and swimming; having three kayaks provided was so appreciated. Very attentive host. We had a great time!
Super easy check in/ out process. Beautiful quiet, private setting among the trees overlooking the lake. Cottage was fully furnished with everything needed for our stay besides food to eat... very nice! My host was super responsive to all questions! Thankyou Taylor, for making this trip so enjoyable!
Very nice property off the beaten path. Easy access to the lake with dock. We rented a boat at the nearby marina and docked right behind the house.
Hosts was easy to communicate with and everything in the property is well maintained and clean. Definitely recommend.
This was a wonderful home away from home for our family! We never left the house because there’s so much to do there- board games, game tables, hot tub, kayak, movies, fishing, etc. Everything was clean when we came in and there’s an abundance of towels! It has everything you could need- pots/pans, spices, coffee, all the essentials. We were able to catch little fish (blue gills) off the dock and even caught catfish (the highlight of our trip). We had two young kids with us (age 1 & 2) so the kid life vests for the dock came in very handy. We would absolutely come back!
My three kids and I loved staying here! It had everything that we needed to relax for a weekend getaway. The kitchen was well stocked, there were soooo many towels, and this is the only rental I have stayed in that finally has enough hooks for hanging everyone’s towels ;). I was also impressed that most of the life jackets for the kayaks were kept inside hanging neatly in the closet, so they were in great shape. Would definitely stay here again!
Wonderful stay at Firefly Cottage!! Enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and lake was perfect!! House is well equipped and comfortable!! Quiet, relaxing, and just perfect to unwind from the hustle and bustle!! Would definitely stay again! Thank you to our host Taylor who was very accommodating and available for any questions! House is perfectly situated & close to shopping & restaurants. We recommend this stay to anyone interested in staying in Moneta and Smith Mountain Lake!!
This amazing cottage has everything you need for a relaxing stay right on the lake. The surrounding area combines mountain views and lakefront amenities with plenty of opportunities to visit restaurants and Smith Mountain State Park. The property is intentionally designed for "life being easier on the lake" and includes a nice game room downstairs as an additional place to relax. The host is very responsive and informative. It is an excellent place to book with good value.
